Two wheels are freedom. Motorcycles bring riders all over the United States a thrill they can’t get with a car or anything else. It’s not just an activity, it’s a full-sensory experience.
The road is coming at you fast and being dragged behind you as you cruise. You trade the noise of a busy life for the thunder of a revving engine and the harmony of the road.
Gasoline, that intoxicating aroma. It’s mixed with the scents of nature and fills your nostrils as you leave life behind for minutes, hours or days. You’re focused only on the moment. It’s liberation. Zen.
But It’s About Community, Too…
Motorcycles have always had the appeal of independence. But they’re also a way to bring people together. There are plenty of clubs and events that use riding as a way to build community.
One of these events is a poker run. These involve participants riding motorcycles from checkpoint to checkpoint to collect cards at each location until they have a full poker hand. Whoever has the best hand at the end wins.
Poker runs are a great way for people to enjoy a ride with their friends. They’re often used for charity purposes, so they’re a great way to raise money for important causes in the community.
What Should I Eat on a Motorcycle Trip?
Poker runs (and motorcycle trips in general) can take place over hundreds of miles. You could make pit stops to buy food, but that interrupts the journey and gets expensive fast.
It’s better to bring a snack or two. If it fits in a saddlebag and is non-perishable, you’ll be good to go. Here are some easy ideas that won’t be a pain in the ass on the road.
Wild River Mild Old Fashioned Beef Jerky
You can’t ask for a better snack than this jerky. It’s old-fashioned and rugged, but it’s also rich in flavor. It’s got 15 grams of protein per serving made with 100% beef.
The resealable pouch makes it easy for road trips. Grab a few pieces, zip up the pouch and toss it back in the bag.
You’re back on the road in no time and don’t have to worry about the jerky going bad.
Banana Chips
Dried fruit is kind of like jerky but for people craving sweets. Like jerky, banana chips are dehydrated and will last a long time without refrigeration.
Bananas are almost as sweet as candy when they’re raw and fresh. But when they’re prepared in easy-to-eat chip form, they’re even sweeter and they have a satisfying crunchiness.
Although if you wanted something more decadent, you could always get banana chips covered in chocolate!
Trail Mix
Nuts, raisins, maybe some chocolate chips. Who doesn’t like a handful of trail mix? It’s been a solid snack for hikers, hunters, fishermen and general outdoorsmen for generations.
Trail mix is a favorite snack for many because it’s filling, quick to eat and tastes great. It can be purchased pre-mixed or you can take a more economical option to buy the ingredients in bulk and make your own batch.
Apples
Maybe you don’t get hungry very easily. Or, maybe you just like to eat wholesome food with no packaging. No problem, that’s what apples are good for!
Their skin is its own packaging, so you can just throw it in the saddlebag. It might get bruised, but honestly, it’s not a big deal and doesn’t really affect the flavor.
Cereal Bar
This could be anything from granola bars to protein bars. They’re individually wrapped and come in a bunch of different flavors from savory to sweet and contain nutrients like protein and carbohydrates.
But if you do decide to go with bars, keep an eye on the labels to be sure you choose what is important to you.
